Very good point. While I still plan my meals a week at a time, I try to allow myself to be flexible and eat what I want when I want it. I'm reading a book that goes into more detail on this and it's very enlighting. While it goes all they way and say to through caloried counting or whatever out the window and just always eat what you want, but only when you're hungry, I need a little more structure than that.

Just this week, I wanted cheesecake really bad (it's TOM), but not just any cheesecake, Cheesecake Factory cheesecake. So I just acknowledged the craving and moved on. The next day my DH was are you still craving cheesecake? Let's go to Cheesecake Factory and get cheesecake for dinner. And I said Yuck! NO! I had no desire for the cheesecake whatsoever.
